Does this really work? How long will the jamming last?
Thanks-

I have no clue ... nor what the range would be. Extremely bad idea though.
Illegal in the UK, and I suspect here in the states as well ... And if it
isn't, should be.

It's rather illegal in the US as well and considered about as cool a thing
to do as hanging around a hospital letting the air out of the tires of
ambulances.

It's illegal in the US, anyhow.

It's illegal in the US. FCC regs say you're not allowed to jam cellular
transmissions. I imagine that if you got caught, the fine would probably
be more than whatever you paid for the units.

Someone in the Verizon group promised to smash cell phones of people that
rudely use them (ie. loudly in a restaurant, or at a movie theatre). Perhaps
he's a customer?

I'm not sure about the UK (where this guy is selling it), but it's
definitely not legal in the US to operate active jamming equipment.
Actually... reading further down, this guy KNOWS it's illegal in the UK,
as he refuses to sell to anyone in the UK.
This is further demonstrated seeing as the jammer depicted on the site
was designed to look an awful lot like an innocous cell phone. the only
thing wrong with the picture is that it has two antennas instead of one.

Actually it is illegal to jam any transmission(to varying degs of course).
Now if you throw in the part where most people here not allowed to
transmit on the freqs our cellphones operate in and not to mention at the
power levels required to jam them, tho I would imagine just raising
the noise level on the party channel and or spewing invalid data may work
and not require as high a power requirement as just blasting the entire
freq spectrum. Last time I checked cdma was designed with methods to
cut through invalid data since the code division would have it only
respond to data specifically crafted for it using the esn/time as a key. Any
way the FCC has specific rules about any communication jamming or just
destroying entire bands of the radio spectrum in general so specific
cellphone jamming laws/restrictions are just the tip of the iceberg.

But is that what those devices do, or do they just blindly interfere with
given frequency ranges?

Right. I used the term cellular because in this context we were talking about
cellular jamming.

And could very well include jail time if an emergency call was blocked.

Well I was just saying larger implications of restrictions and penalties
because there might be some context where a user of a jamming device can
weasel out of a specific cellular context law. Esp when you realize our
sprint phones are not "cellphones" but classified as pcs phones (its fun
to rename things ).
As far as how they block the singles well the web page lists,
"Output power: about 20mW, (good in hospital)" and given cdma
phones have the ability to raise their transmit power much higher then
that I would bet this device tries to attack the phone registration
process or paging channel directly.

It is very easy to disrupt cell phone use and devices are already in
place in some areas. A closed loop system will pretty much disable a
cell phone while it is inside the loop. If you go to a theatre and see
a sign that states that cellphone use is prohibited inside the
facility, this is probably what's going on. I haven't seen it much
yet, but I suspect it will catch on.
